Unknown

I had been waiting in the trees all night.

I stood exactly where I knew Arielle would eventually pass on her way home, hidden among the shadows where no one would think to look for me.

But the night had dragged on, and Arielle still hadn’t appeared.

Now the darkness was beginning to fade. A faint glow crept across the horizon as the first light of dawn broke through the trees.

Still nothing.

Where was she?

A knot of worry tightened in my chest.

Had something happened to her?

Was she hur

    HenryI knew the moment Arielle started getting dressed that I was losing the battle.She had made up her mind.She was going home.Not because she wanted to go back to Joss.Not because she wanted the life she had left behind.She simply needed to say goodbye to the people who mattered to her and collect the rest of her belongings.I understood that.I just didn’t have to like it.I watched her pull her clothes together, trying desperately not to look as worried as I felt.I couldn’t let her leave yet.“Arielle.”She turned toward me.“Yes?”“Stay another night.”Her eyebrows lifted.“Henry…”“Just one more night.”I walked toward her.“You don’t have to leave today.”She smiled.“I know.”“I mean it.”I reached for her hands.“Stay with me tonight. Tomorrow you can go back and get your things.”She looked at me thoughtfully.“I don’t want to make things harder for you.”“You couldn’t.”She laughed softly.“You barely know me.”“I know enough.”I brushed my thumb over her knuckles.“

    HenryI had spent years believing I knew what it meant to be alone.As a vampire, I had watched humans come and go. I had seen relationships begin, burn brightly for a while, and eventually fade. I had learned not to become too attached.It was easier that way.Then Arielle walked into my life.And suddenly, everything I had believed about being alone meant nothing.I lay beside her, watching her sleep, and felt something I hadn’t allowed myself to feel in a very long time.Peace.She was curled against me, her head resting on my chest, one arm draped across my stomach. Her breathing was slow and steady, and every now and then she shifted closer as though even in sleep she needed to be near me.I gently brushed a strand of hair away from her face.How had this happened?How had one woman managed to get beneath every wall I had built around myself?We had spent the entire day together.We had talked.We had laughed.We had cooked together, explored my home, shared secrets and memories.

    ArielleI was lying in Henry’s embrace, looking out the enormous bedroom window at the lightening sky.The sun hadn’t broken over the horizon yet, but it wasn’t far away.I watched the darkness slowly give way to shades of blue and gold.It was beautiful.Peaceful.I felt completely content.Then, without warning, thick shutters suddenly descended over the windows.I jumped.“What the—”A quiet chuckle beside me made me turn.Henry was awake.“Sorry,” he said, still chuckling. “Didn’t mean to give you a fright.”I stared at the shutters.“They do that every morning?”“Every morning.”“Why?”“To ensure I don’t get roasted.”I burst out laughing.“You’re ridiculous.”He grinned.“I prefer to think of it as sensible.”“You’re a vampire.”“Exactly. We have certain dietary restrictions.”I laughed again.I couldn’t remember the last time I’d laughed so freely.There was something about Henry.Everything with him was easy.There were no complicated conversations.No expectations.No argumen

A faint glow crept across the horizon as the first light of dawn broke through the trees.Still nothing.Where was she?A knot of worry tightened in my chest.Had something happened to her?Was she hurt?I should have gone looking for her hours ago.But I had promised myself I would wait.She would come home.She always did.Except tonight, she hadn’t.I stared down the empty path, refusing to let the fear taking hold of me show.Arielle was supposed to be home.She was supposed to be safe.With me.My jaw clenched as I thought about Joss.For four long years, he had been the one standing beside her. Four years of having what should have been mine. Four years of watching from a distance while

    JossI was asleep when the pain hit.One second I was dreaming.The next, I felt as though someone had reached inside my chest and was tearing me apart from the inside out.I shot upright.A scream ripped from my throat.I grabbed my chest, desperately trying to breathe.“What’s happening?” Clare cried, jolting awake beside me.I couldn’t answer.The pain was unbearable.It spread through my chest, down my arms and through every part of my body.I fell to my knees beside the bed.“Joss!”Clare jumped out of bed.“What’s wrong?”I screamed again.Thunder was howling inside my head.Mate.I gripped my chest harder.“No…”Clare stared at me in confusion.“What?”And then I understood.The mate bond.Arielle.Something was happening to Arielle.But this wasn’t normal.This wasn’t the familiar pull I had felt every time she was near.This was different.It was as though the bond itself was screaming at me.And suddenly, a horrifying certainty hit me.Arielle wasn’t alone.She was with some

    ArielleI wasn’t ready for the night to end.And apparently, neither was I ready to let Henry take me home.“Come back with me,” he said.I looked at him.“To your place?”He nodded.I hesitated.There was something thrilling about the idea.Something that made my heart beat a little faster.“Are you sure?”“I’m sure.”I smiled.“Okay.”Henry’s eyes sparkled.“Okay?”“Okay.”He laughed softly.“You’re making me nervous.”“You?”“A vampire can get nervous too.”I laughed.“Then let’s go.”The journey to Henry’s home didn’t take long.When we finally pulled up, I stared out the window.I wasn’t sure what I had expected.Something dark and mysterious, perhaps.A gothic mansion hidden away somewhere.What I hadn’t expected was this.Henry’s home was enormous.The property was surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens, with tall trees lining the long driveway. Soft lights illuminated the path leading toward the house.And the house itself…I couldn’t even find the right words.It was br
